Update 4/10/10 4:45 p.m. - Kari Chisholm of Mandate Media gently informed me that the googlefiber domain is not owned by Google. So there is a question as to whether this is a legitimate part of Google's decision-making process, or not. I will ask staff to check into it more on Monday.

Update 4/12/10 - Staff agrees with Kari, we don't believe this is a legitimate component of the decision-making process.

Google is keeping a close watch over the participation from individuals and city representatives to bring their city into Google’s notice

To decide the Most Deserving City for Google Fiber, Google has chosenOpen Polling. They say they want the most reactive, effort making and responsive city to come out on top and win this Challenge, and they have chosen probably the best and simplest method for deciding the winner. Direct voting. So please, VOTE!
